Historical Notes

A page about a company should contain a brief summary of the company history. It is not necessarily restricted to the camera developments. Places and people are worth to be mentioned too. The successive company names are interesting; they should be given in complete form in the original language, and an English translation can be provided if felt useful. When some English translation is officially used by the company, it should of course be prefered to any other translation.

List of products

Camera makers

A page about a camera maker should contain a list of its cameras, as exhaustive as possible. This list should be organized in sections and subsections, a typical arrangement being to have one section per image support and one subsection per camera architecture, for example:

  1. Digital
    1. DSLR
    2. Point and shoot
  2. 35mm film
    1. Autofocus SLR
    2. Manual focus SLR
    3. Point and shoot
    4. Rangefinder
  3. 120 film
    1. 4.5×6 folder
    2. 6×6 folder
    3. 6×6 TLR

Of course you can dispense with the list if the company only produced one or two camera models.

Lens makers

It is not always possible to give a list of lens types, but a list of common brand names used by the company is useful. A list of cameras equipped with these lenses is also useful, when possible.

Distributors

Some companies are only distributors, selling cameras made by other companies. When the distributor sells cameras under its own brand, a list of cameras is useful, and can be presented the same way as for a camera maker.
